The quickest way to get to know Android Studio is to use it to develop an android app. We'll start with a variation on the "Hello, World" app: a little mobile app that displays a "Welcome to Android App" message.

From our setup so far, you should still have Android Studio running with the Welcome to Android Studio dialog box. From here, click Start a new Android Studio project. Android Studio will respond with the Create New Project dialog box shown in Figure 2.
